This Mike's condition is very strange. He obviously looks healthy and energetic, but his yang energy seems to have almost disappeared.
What would happen to a living person without Yang Qi?
Of course he is dead!
The reason why Su Yi said that Mike would not live for seven days was because in Su Yi's eyes, Mike's remaining yang energy was still dwindling rapidly, and would be completely emptied in less than seven days at most.
But Su Yi didn't find any traces of being possessed, cursed, or spelled on Mike, which is why Su Yi felt weird.
He had never seen this situation before.
A good living person will never have such a small amount of yang energy for no reason.
So where did Mike's yang energy go?
Because he did not understand the situation and was vigilant, Su Yi did not take action rashly. He watched Mike go away, thinking about how to face this matter.
He had no idea of secretly following up to investigate, because if this really involved ghosts and gods, how could you outsmart ghosts and gods no matter how secretly you tried?
What he said to Mike just now was actually considered to have crossed the line, and it could also be regarded as a small test by Su Yi.
If this matter really involves ghosts and gods, Su Yi feels that he will be warned soon.
After all, ghosts and gods don’t need to show mercy like humans. Generally, they must retaliate and no offense is tolerated.
The car that Director Ma assigned to Su Yi was pretty good, a red car that looked to be 70 to 80% new.
Except that Su Yi didn't like the color, there was nothing bad about it.
In fact, it stands to reason that ghosts are taboo against the color red, so when people hold some happy events, they like to dress everything up in red, including people.
But red can only restrain ordinary sneakiness. For some very powerful ghosts, red will actually attract them.
However, now many people, in order to seek peace of mind, often put some decorations on the car to protect peace, such as placing a Buddha statue in front of the car, hanging Buddhist beads, cinnabar or peace charms, etc., as long as they are obtained from places where incense is available, or
I invited them here to worship, and they are very effective.
Su Yi drove all the way towards Dapu, but he kept thinking about how to intervene in Mike's matter.
His first mission was to "transform the Stand Ghost and destroy the Kaidan Association", so Su Yi was wondering if the strange behavior on Mike's body might be related to the "Stand Ghost".
Stand-in ghost? Ghost looking for a stand-in?
Su Yi is no stranger to this. He has personally captured several evil ghosts who were looking for substitutes, and even a water ghost.
However, ghosts usually look for substitutes in a specific place and at a specific time to induce the victim to die in a specific way.
Some ghosts have so much karma that sometimes even one substitute is not enough, and several substitutes are needed.
The purpose of a ghost looking for a substitute is to let other ghosts suffer the pain of burning karma on its behalf and help it share its karma.
The ghost used as a substitute is very pitiful, because it not only has to bear the karma of its own life, but also the karma of the evil ghost who killed it.
These ghosts usually find substitutes to harm others, just like beating drums to spread flowers, and distribute their karma again;
But more often than not, if you can't hold on for long, you will be burned by the fire of karma and your soul will fly away. After all, it is difficult for most ghosts to bear the karma of evil ghosts in a new ghost body.
Will Mike be a substitute chosen by a ghost?
But if this is the case, there will definitely be the mark of a vicious ghost on his body, but Su Yi didn't find any problems on him.
Weird, really weird...
The car soon arrived at Dapeng Bay. Su Yi parked the car at the pier and spent a hundred yuan to hire a boat to go out to sea and head to the island not far away.
This island is called Dongpingzhou, and it is the destination of Su Yi's trip.
Although it is said to be an island, it is actually a very remote fishing village. Very few outsiders come to this fishing village, and the only means of transportation between the village and the outside world is by boat.
There is a police station on the island, and there is only one policeman in the station, known as "Uncle Feng". This Uncle Feng is the target of Su Yi's trip.
When we arrived at the island, it was already dark. When Su Yi came, it was during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Every household in the village was burning paper. Looking around, I saw sparks all the way, like will-o'-the-wisps, which looked particularly weird.
gloomy.
The fishing village is surrounded by dense forests, and the sea breeze blows. As we walk along, the branches and leaves of the forest on both sides of the road are swaying wantonly, like countless ghost claws waving in the darkness. The "rustling" sounds made by the wind blowing the leaves are like countless
The sneaks whispered maliciously in the darkness.
As Su Yi walked, he always felt like something was following behind him.
He knew this was not an illusion. In fact, many people felt like they were being followed while walking at night. This was not an illusion, but for ordinary people, it was best not to look back frequently.
Because you may not see anyone when you look at it ten times, but maybe when you look at it for the eleventh time, you will see a shadow or a face. At this time, you have to get at least one illness to eliminate the evil spirit in your body.
spirit.
The inaccessible suburbs are definitely a paradise for sneaky things. A living person passing by here at night is as eye-catching as a red lantern. Although ghosts dare not approach you, they also covet the yang energy in you.
They are jealous of your vitality, so they will follow you from afar.
Under normal circumstances, as long as people don't pay attention to it and just go their own way, they will naturally "take exception to the situation and then lose it".
But some people are really scared, so they spit in the palm of their hand and touch the back of their head three times, and they immediately feel much more at ease.
Ghosts are afraid of saliva. The reason for touching the back of the head is because the back of the head is also called the "foreign bone" and is the weakest part of the human body. Putting saliva on the back of the head is equivalent to guarding against one's own vital points, and the mind will naturally feel much more at ease.
In psychology, this is called distracting anxiety, and it makes sense.
Su Yi naturally didn't care about these lonely ghosts wandering in the wild. Let alone harm him, these ghosts would get burned even if they came close to him.
But they were so confused that they didn't know what fear was, and they still instinctively followed Su Yi from a distance.
It wasn't until Su Yi reached the entrance of the village that the ghosts stopped.
Su Yi laughed and stopped and looked back.
In his field of vision, there were many shadowy figures following in the darkness behind, there were gusts of wind and ghosts roaring, the scene was very spectacular.
These ghosts are not all lonely ghosts, and there should not be so many in normal times. It's just that today, during the Ghost Festival, the gates of ghosts are wide open, so there are so many sneaks coming to the world to enjoy incense, candles, and paper money.
But the ghosts who can really eat the incense candles have already entered the village. Those wandering outside the village are the kind of people who have neither reincarnation nor have their descendants to worship them.
They have been completely forgotten by future generations.
At this moment, Su Yi noticed that these ghosts were restless and suddenly drifted towards the west of the village, as if they were being pulled by some kind of force.
Su Yi's heart moved and he looked over there.
I saw someone lighting a big fire in an open space over there, burning paper money and incense candles.
All these ghosts were heading over there, and Su Yi could see from a distance that these ghosts were fighting over something around the fire over there.
"You are so willing to help ghosts? It seems that Uncle Feng is there." Su Yi smiled, but he didn't expect to find someone so smoothly.
He took steps towards it.
When they arrived at the village, the people burning paper on both sides of the road changed their faces slightly when they saw Su Yi, lowered their heads and said nothing. If they met him head-on, they would hide away and mutter something, as if they were meeting the god of plague.
In fact, this is also a kind of taboo. During the Zhongyuan and Qingming festivals, you must not look at strangers when you see them, let alone say hello to them, because you don’t know whether they are humans or ghosts.
The radio in the fishing village also played Yiyi Yaya's opera: "It's hard to be wronged, and it's hard to let go of the hatred. I kneel down and cry to the God of the Sea. I kneel to the God of the Sea and cry, saying that the eye of the sky is clear, and the divine light of our way shines..."
I don’t know whether it’s prejudice or stereotype, but Su Yi always feels that Cantonese opera gives people a very eerie feeling.
When Su Yi walked that way, he found that the people giving alms to the ghosts there had also left, and they were coming towards him.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Then he was not in a hurry and walked leisurely.
When passing by an alley, he saw a young girl kneeling on the roadside burning paper. The firelight shone on her face, and the outline of her delicate facial features could be vaguely seen.
But this girl was not like other people. She was absentmindedly looking around while burning the paper.
Seeing the grandma next to her carrying Zhihu's TV and refrigerator and throwing them into the fire, she said "Hey" and asked, "Third grandma, why did you replace your son's electrical appliances again this year?"
The third wife laughed and said, "It's Zhuzhu who is filial to her dead father. She wrote back and said that she had met a new boyfriend and found a new job."
When the girls heard this, they pouted and muttered: "I also want to go find something to do, but my uncle won't allow it..."
The third wife over there happily lit up a handful of paper money and bowed in all directions: "The paper money will clear the way and the package will be delivered to the devils and ghosts! This year, there will be a full set of color TV and video recorders. Next year, we will give you a car and a mansion with a wine cellar..."
Su Yi smiled knowingly when he heard this, and it sounded like a rhyme.
In fact, bribery of cow ghosts and snake gods is something that should not be said at all. The third wife's son is standing by the fire, waiting to receive the goods. What does it have to do with cow ghosts and snake gods?
If there really is a monster passing by here and taking the third wife's words seriously, then the money burned by the third wife will be shared by the monster.
In fact, if you burn paper money, TV ingots, or even villa beauties, will a ghost really receive these things?
No, what the ghosts receive is only "incense", which is something that can strengthen them and is also the hard currency in the underworld.
Of course, families who have the conditions will also make eucalyptus offerings and use food and wine to worship their ancestors. Ghosts cannot eat or drink these things, but these things are also counted as incense, and they are incense with yang energy.
It's even more precious to ghosts.
Someone ate the tribute after offering sacrifices. Does this count as robbing ghosts of food?
No, what ghosts eat is just the incense, mind power and yang energy in these foods. Food is still food, and to ghosts it is just a carrier, just like the bowls we use when eating and the cups we use to drink water.
In the eyes of ghosts and gods, after they enjoyed the delicious food, how could they care if their descendants ate the bowls and cups?
The same goes for things like paper money. Whether you burn ingots or paper money, incense or candles, to ghosts it's just the packaging. What's really important is the incense contained inside.
Does the amount of paper money used depend on the amount of incense?
This is for sure, the more sincere the heart, the more incense will be. How can a living person show his sincerity?
There are two ways, either you offer incense and worship every day, or you spend more money and burn paper during Qingming and Zhongyuan.
Money often represents sincerity, which is an irrefutable truth that applies everywhere.
Su Yi's arrival also caught the girl's attention. Maybe there were few strangers in this village. The girl looked at Su Yi with wide eyes, looking very curious.
The third wife on the side was also attracted by Su Yi, and accidentally bumped into the burning refrigerator that was as tall as one person.
The fire suddenly grew stronger and burned to the haystacks on one side.
The third wife suddenly woke up, stamped her feet and exclaimed: "Oh, it's not good!"
She was so anxious that she stamped her feet on the spot, but her old brain couldn't react, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
The girl screamed and tried to put out the fire but failed, and hurriedly ran back to the yard.
Of course Su Yi would not stand idly by when this happened. Without saying a word, he touched a wooden board in the corner and quickly used it to stir up the burning fire, separating the haystack from the fire.
"Oh, I'm really confused, why did it catch on fire?" The third wife was so anxious that she stamped her feet, and after saying that, she turned around and ran to another yard.
Just as Su Yi was about to call her, he heard a shout from the yard, "Water is coming, water is coming." The girl just now ran out with a basin of water and started to pour it on the water without saying a word.
"Don't splash!"
Two voices stopped her at the same time.
The first sound came from Su Yi, but the latter sound came from the intersection on the other side.
The girl stopped in time and looked at Su Yi with wide eyes.
"It's okay." Su Yi smiled at her, "Let the fire here burn out on its own."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the other side of the intersection, and he saw a middle-aged man wearing a police uniform and a unibrow walking quickly towards this side.
He looked at Su Yi seriously, then came over and pulled the girl behind him.
"Ah? It's uncle." The girl called out.
Without even a single brow, he said: "The most taboo thing about burning paper is putting it out when it's half burned. Remember not to use water to extinguish the fire that burns the night."
"Why?" the girl asked, but her eyes were still looking at Su Yi curiously.
"Because humans only worship ghosts and gods only a few times a year. For them, this opportunity is rare and cannot be missed," Su Yi said with a smile. "If they come here in good spirits but come back in bad spirits, they will be angered."
.It’s okay if you meet someone with a good temper, but if you have a bad temper, you will definitely have to settle accounts with you.”
The girl shrank her neck when she heard this, stuck out her tongue and said, "Is it true? Is it so serious?"
"It's true," Yi Mei looked at Su Yi, "Alian, bring the water back first!"
"Yes, uncle." Alian made a face behind her unibrow, glanced at Su Yi again, and then turned around and walked into the yard.
"This gentleman looks very strange. What's the point of coming to our Dongpingzhou so late?" asked the unibrow.
"I'm looking for someone." Su Yi said with a smile, "I have something very important that I want to ask him for advice."
